My neighbor Ivan likes to fish on the local piers and gifted me a nice fillet of juvenile Blacktip shark, fresh from the Gulf of Mexico

I cut it into chunks. No bones no bad fishy smell

Now they soak in milk

Later I'll bubble some peanut oil in a pan and have a shark party

The shark secret is soaking the fillets in milk before cooking. Does it really need to soak all night long?  After about 2 hours I poured out the milk soak. Made 3 new bowls - left to right, 1. Fish chunks  2. Milk (new) with a healthy squirt of mustard blended with a whisk  3. Fish fry coating. My favorite is "Louisiana Fish Fry". Add a little flour if you want

Peanut oil heated to at least 350 degrees. The hotter the better. Drop the chunks into the oil a few at a time until they are golden brown. Have a fire bottle nearby, Bunky  :laugh2:

 

This is as good as any fish I've ever had. You don't need to fry it - you can bake or grill it as well. The milk soak is the secret  :good:

I had mako shark in Philadelphia a few years back. I don't recall how it was fixed, but it was delicious. Is the blacktip shark anything like our "sand sharks?"

The first un-canned tuna I ever saw were two large ones being iced down in the back of a refrigerated truck. This was 55 yrs. ago on the Maine coast near Harpswell or Cundy's Harbor. They do a lot of Tuna fishing off the Maine coast & have for years. Lobstering & clamming get more public relations.

You had me going there Paplo I though you dipped them in milk mustard and whisky LOL!

 

Everyone be careful with the peanut oil, it has a flash point of around 600 degrees. found out the hard way years ago.

:laugh2:  Nothing wrong with that, Marc, try it and let me know LOL

 

You are so right about the peanut oil, man! Safety first, always use a bigger pan than needed - if hot oil bubbles over you will need a Class Bravo and Charlie fire bottle  :heat:
